Hello,

I'm running a (rather large) mailman3 instance on Debian 13 (trixie) using the 
distribution packages.

To manage the mailman3 daemon, the package installs this systemd service unit: 
https://sources.debian.org/src/mailman3/3.3.10-2/debian/mailman3.service/

It has been working fine until recently: after a reboot, we noticed the 
mailman3 unit consistently failing to start due to a timeout error.

I figured out that the timeout was related to the service unit type 
(Type=forking) and the fact that the main/parent process was forking 
subprocesses (and running normally), writing a PID file, but it wasn't exiting, 
so systemd identifies this as an error and aborts the service.

Since switching to Type=simple, it has been working fine.

I'm wondering if anyone else has seen such behavior and how I could 
troubleshoot it.

Thanks!
